Carrie Krause / / //Annalisa Pappano/// Concerti tonight by Johann Sebastian Bach on May 23, 2019 / Jonathan Oddie This is an amazing program. We hope you can come tonight! In our most ambitious Salish Sea Early Music Festival undertaking of the season,?? four?? awe-inspiring masterworks to are be performed this eveinng at St. Luke's Memorial Episcopal Church. The uplifting, open-textured and dance-inspired *Suite in B Minor* for flute and strings offers many contrasting and recognizable melodies. One of the most sought-after violin concerti of any era is the*Concerto in A Minor* for violin and orchestra. The *Fifth Brandenburg Concerto* epitomizes the power of art as it resonates to the pure joy of human experience. These three monumental works are often to be heard for good reason, but less familiar to many of us is the *Triple Concerto in A Minor*, which shares Brandenburg 5's instrumentation (solo harpsichord, violin and flute with orchestra) and is likewise predominantly a harpsichord concerto but even more so.More difficult but equally transporting and reflecting a more serious focus, it exhibits a higher level of adventurousness harmonically. The Seattle Symphony recently offered a rare performance on modern instruments, but ours is the first ever in the Northwest on period instruments as far as we are aware. We are privileged to perform these four intensely exciting and deeply moving works and will be very pleased to share them with you tomorrow! Thursday, May 23, 2019 at 7:00 PM *??? Concerti by J.S.
